On the morning following Banks's battle at

his staf, captured a rebel picket post This
also occurred at "the 'front.'" as piclets are

OF Aug. 20 at Second Bull Run, long before

coffee, the rebels being in our immediate front.
We had not yet built our little fires when Gen.
Milroy came tearing along in front of our
lines, hat in hand and swinging il over his
head, his long, white beard floating in the
breeze, shouting at the top Of his voice: Boys,

like tornado he rushed forward, and not back

THE BRAVE MAN.
No Forging AIloued-A Turkey story.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: IL takes all
sorts of men TO make world, and Of course in
a military company can be found almost any
kind of a man. During the Winter of 1868 my
company (E, 6tS4io. S. NJ. Cav.) was stationed
at Calhoun, No, and we were out Of hay.
Serg't Miller, with 10 men, was detailed 10
take two wagons and go some distance out in
the country 10 a farm and load the wagons
with hay and return. The Sergeant was order
ed 10 report with his men, before starting, TO
Maj. q. w. Murphy, who was commander OF
the post, which he accordingly did. The
Major came out and inspected the detail as it
was drawn up in line before his tent, and
strictly charged them TO do no foraging. lie
declared that the good people around Calhoun
had been imposed upon by the boys. who had
not even left rooster 10 crow within hearing
of the town, and he pointed his finger directly
at the Sergeant. lie said the thing had to be
stopped then and there, and that he would
hold them all responsible for any complaint
that might follow them into camp that even
ing, for he was disguised with the way his men
were doing etc.
After being thus instructed Serg't Miller
started with his men for the farmhouse and
the hay, and on the way out he exacted an
oath from each one not 10 take any chickens,
turkeys, or anything else, and all promised
| faithfully that they would not forage any that
day. But alas for the fraity of human nature.
When the hay was loaded the farmer and the
Sergeant had TO go into the house 10 write n
receipt for the hay. A flock of turkeys came up
| by the fence, all wet from the falling rain.
Down went the boys. all promises forgotten on
the instant, the turkeys were cornered in a
| fence corner, and their necks all broken in a
trice. In less than no time at all they were
safely under the hay on top Of the wagon-load.
| When the Sergeant came out all was right and
quiet-the boys faces were all as long as the
moral law, and a more innOcent-looking outfit
was never seen. The Sergeant ordered return
TO camp, keeping a sharp lookout all the way
lest the boys should bring reproach upon him
by disobeying the Majors orders lie was just
passing the mess-tents with his loads of hay
and mentally congratulating himself on carry
ing out the orders Of his commanding officer q

On the Chicago Limited Express, one of those
splendid trains that leave New York over two
OF the great trunk lines of this country and
make the dash TO the metropolis Of the West
with such remarkable speed, an elderly gentle
man was, few days days ago, seized with
violent attack of asthma. lie had been suf-
terer for many years and his efforts 10 breathe
were dreadful 20 witness. A physician was
found on the train, but relief seemed impOssi-
bic. Everything was done for the comfort Of
the passenger but he speedily grew worse
His face assumed liyid hue, and il appeared
that he had only few minutes TO live. Sud-
denly lady in the car seized the porter by the
arm, sent him flying 10 the range in the dining
car for boiling water, while from a satchel she
drew out one of Dr. Starkey and Palen's Com
pound Oxygen lnhalers BY the time the por-
Ter had returned with salad bowl filled with
boiling water, the lady had the corls out Of
the bottle, the glass tubes fitted, and In less
time than il requires TO tell il, the inhaler was
immersed in the heating fluid. A moment
more aud the ozone began 10 evolve and the
inhaing tube was placed in the sufferers
mouth. lie was so exhausted that he could
only breathe the gas IN spasmodic manner
but at the end of minute his limitations be.
came more lengthy and regular, and at the end
of five minutes the wheeling ceased and he wat
able 10 rest easily. OF course the sufferer was
greatly weakened, but lac had no recurrence oil
the attack. The entire train rang with praise,
of Compound Oxygen during the balance of the
journey.
